Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Heart of Stone (The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone #6) by David James Warren

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring Heart of Stone, the conclusion to the True Lies of Rembrandt Stone series by David James Warren.

About the Book
Rembrandt Stone has nothing left to lose…or does he?

Detective Rembrandt Stone doesn’t recognize himself in the mirror. Doesn’t recognize the world he’s returned to. Doesn’t even know his own name. But he knows one thing…living in this world is impossible.

Good thing he has an ally—an unexpected friend from the past. And together, they just might be able to unravel the entire mess. But first…Rembrandt will have to return to the past one final time and intercept himself before he makes a lethal mistake.

Time has outwitted him. It’s time for him to outwit time. Can he reconstruct a past he just destroyed or is there nothing left of his world to save?

Book Beginnings
They say that without hope, people perish.
I say hope crushes the soul.

Friday 56
Why would she park on the street two blocks away from HQ instead of the ramp? Her father was always hounding her to use the basement tunnels, for safety.
